ORUTerry Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I like his length and athleticism. Also like that we have a recruit out of Houston. According to my math, we have one scholarship left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Very impressive!!!....Paul Mills and staff doing some serious work down in Texas....looks like this kid can score the basketball.....can't ever have too many of those....in fact, we haven't had many over the past several years at ORU....

Dr. Cornelius Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Found this post on Hogville (the Arkansas forum) Quote Excellent news. Go Reggie.Any new evaluations out on DeShang Weaver? I have not paid attention to his ratings. My personal view is that DJ is a very good basketball player, I'd say top 75-100 if fully healthy. Had he not missed so much time (which severely limited his development), he might be Top 25-50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Great find Doc C! Sounds like they found a good one. Like ORUTerry mentioned above --- how about his wingspan? will play taller than 6'7" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 So this DJ kid is a top 100 player in the entire nation???...Or just Texas???...l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idig32 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I like that he can shoot and appears to be a really good passer, both essential attributes in modern post players. He also appears to be a eager rebounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like @ORUalum posted above 247sports has Weaver ranked: #10 PF in TX #35 PF Nationally #143 recruit for the 2018 class The composite rankings (averaging out ranking across several recruiting services) #17 PF in TX #53 PF Nationally #218 recruit for the 2018 class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is currently rated a “3 Star” recruit and some sites had him listed as a “4 Star” in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUParentLurker Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Once you get familiar with how these rankings are put together.. you realize they are pretty much trash outside of the obvious top ten or so. I see kids ranked high all the time who I'm positive cannot play. The problem is its a "who you know" network and a strange caldron of performance vs. potential. A good coach should not ever look at these rankings and do all evals independently. I'm pretty sure Mills and staff do their own so we should just trust they will offer kids with good character who can play for real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
